With us living in the Tampa area and all my family in New England, we don't get to see them as often as we'd like. However, my business makes the few trips I take each year affordable! Taking your business on the road has two huge benefits: tax write offs and expanding your customer base or downline!
Do you have friends and family out of your immediate area? I'm sure you do! These days people are always on the move. High school friends, old roommates, extended family? Book a trip, pack your business and your family then head out! Or make it a girls weekend and go alone!
Expand your business to other parts of your state or the country. Plan parties, shows, events, and informational sessions to share what you are doing. Ask whomever you are visiting to watch for events going on in the area. You could register for expos while in town. When travelling for business, you may be able to write off mileage, air fare, hotels, rental cars, and some meals. Consult with your accountant to make sure all your receipts qualify.
My two boys are now 19 months and just took their 5th flight north. Last year the boys flew to New Hampshire 4 times between the ages of 3 months and 12 months. Two of the trips, I even took the two babies by myself! Some trips we celebrated baptisms and first birthdays but any excuse for my boys to see my parents and our extended family works for me! During this most recent trip, we attended a family wedding. How awesome that my business allows me the opportunity to be with my family during these occasions!
While there, I book a few home shows, attend area trainings or events, meet with my downline, or talk to ladies about the opportunity my business offers. Since I'm working, I'm able to write off my airfare. Finding supervision for my boys while I work is much easier too since I have family eager to spend time with them!
There are many advantages to owning your own business... controlling your own schedule, the ability to take it with you, and yes, tax write offs! Check your list of contacts, or maybe your Facebook friends, and plan a "business trip"!
